Justin Ponsor was one of the most brilliant colorists in the industry, elevating every story he worked on to new heights with his heart, humor, and passion for art. The Marvel family has lost one of our own. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. https://t.co/EFKg25ve8K

As anyone who ever met Justin Ponsor knew, he was never just a colleague or colorist or creative partner... he was family. He embraced life with the biggest of hearts, the widest of smiles & the deepest of laughs. He made comics a better place. JPo’s loss will be felt forever. — C.B. Cebulski (@CBCebulski) May 20, 2019

I'm truly heartbroken to hear that Justin Ponsor has passed away after a long battle with cancer. He'd been doing his usual amazing work on the Avengers whenever he could, including from his hospital bed. I got nothing but respect for that man. Love and condolences to his family. — Jason Aaron (@jasonaaron) May 20, 2019

Yesterday we learned of the passing of Justin Ponsor. It was enough that Justin was one of the kindest, jovial, nerdy and fun people I've ever met. We only got to hang out in person a few times, but talked on the phone MANY times over the last twelve or so years. Also... — nick_lowe_ (@nick_lowe_) May 21, 2019

Rest in peace, Justin Ponsor. His stunning colors on X-MEN: PHOENIX ENDSONG were such a critical part of the book's impact and probably a big reason I have a career today. A huge talent and a tremendous loss. Deepest condolences to his friends and family. pic.twitter.com/p0thLjIsj4

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Justin Ponsor, an incredible comics colorist, one of the best I’ve ever worked with. RIP. Among other things, he colored Death of Wolverine, one of the biggest books of my career, and a lot of that is down to him. The death scene alone... pic.twitter.com/YxjbmTOLSW

RIP Justin Ponsor. He started as a colorist at WildStorm & not only produced stunning work but managed to top every other member of the studio when it came to dares. He was a great, easygoing guy w/an amazing can-do spirit & produced spectacular work for many companies since. pic.twitter.com/BIZrdBcOxQ — Jim Lee (@JimLee) May 21, 2019

I believe that today’s comic book color artists are the most talented ever, responsible for so much of the appeal of the art that we admire. I long believed that Justin Ponsor was the best and brightest of this age. His work was the tops. Gone too soon. — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) May 21, 2019

Sad to hear that Justin Ponsor has passed away. He was far too young. I was lucky enough to have worked with him on a number of books. His coloring was always phenomenal, best in the industry. More importantly, he was a genuinely nice person. My love to his friends and family.
